More Items to forage

Berries, Edible mushrooms and roots which can be eaten and a renewable food source

We do actually have a renewable foraging food source now in Birch Bark Trees.  The bark does respawn and it is possible in games with Pilgrim resource settings to survive in an area like the Ravine completely on birch bark teas alone since they do respawn with enough frequency.  What concerns me... if they increase the variety of the things we can forage, they will cut back on the amount of each foraging item that already exists in the world... so we would have, in games set with low resource availability, a shortage of reshis and rosehips in favor of items that are merely food and don't provide any medicinal value.  It's unlikely that Hinterland would just increase the availability of food without trying to rebalance it to maintain the "survival" aspects of the game.  I also think that part of the recent increase in difficulty in killing wolves was rooted in the brags of players who were saying they were killing them in the hundreds and "swimming in meat" in their longer run games.
